where did Compiz' AR feature go ( head tracking )
i'd like me some real 3d again.. what a shame..
here's where i saw it months ago:

the university of Bonn developed hand tracking, they play quake II with the
webcam as the only HID.. i think the code is Open Source

Pranav Mistry ( MIT) became famous on TED a while ago presenting "sixth
sense technology", a whole bunch of tracking apps and gestural control
libraries.. he said he'd take all his code open source.. what's with all
that?
even NASA researchers want the code now...

and the famous ARToolkit for gesture and object tracking via webcam is also
not so bespoken in the desktop linux community, funny.. it's also GPL -
could make for some serious eyecandy :D

ATOMIC WEB..
well here's something i haven't tried yet, an easy tool to make your own AR
application for the web; it exports .swf as far as i could establish..
